He has no money and probably never will. I don't think they make rubbermaid bins big enough for all my fish. And I can't have more than one since I only have the one filter. =[

i have seen 100gal plus rubbermaid bins.

Yes they make 300 gallon rubbermaid stock tubs

I made a 100 gallon tub into a filter

Sorry for the loss... I'm sure you weren't really thinking of taking photo's at that moment, but daamn I sure would like to see that colossal aftermath.

The aftermath wasn't that bad actually lol. My room ( all my tanks are in my room) is in the basement next to the laundry room. All the water ( and like half my gravel and sand) just went down the drain in the laundry room. I have all electronics off the floor just in case something like this ever happened and I am super glad I did that. I have two PS3's, two computers, my laptop, my tv and numerous other electronics that otherwise would have been destroyed. I have hardwood in my room ( most of the house is hard wood) so the floor was fine after I mopped up the water. All in all no damage except to the tank and stand and my oscar who has a gash on his side. He should heal though, it isn't to bad. I'll go look for a big tub tomorrow for my fish.

Lol thanks for the thought anyway. I'll get a big rubbermaid bin until I can buy a new tank. This seems like a good excuse to buy a bigger tank too. =]

Thought; what if I bought a piece of acrylic and cut a hole in the rubbermaid bin and then silicone the acrylic over the hole? Could be a super cheap tank build. XD

You have 2 of some quite expensive electronics and you are begging for a tank. Trade in a ps3 for cash or one of your computers.
Sorry for the loss but my sympathy went to almost zero for you because you have all those high end electronics but you decided to beg for a tank instead of selling/trading one for cash to fund a new tank for "fish which I have had for 3 years and have become very attached to".
I can tell you even now that my single ps3 would be in the local games shop if my tank broke and I couldn't afford a new one straight away.

Apologies if you think I have come across as harsh but most people struggle to afford one ps3 or 1 computer, you have two of each and still made the decision to beg. That is quite shameful.

Also look on the local classifieds and craigslist to find a cheap replacement.
